Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was revealed at this year’s E3 as a completely new entry in the popular fighting series. As previously confirmed, it sees the return of every character in the history of Smash Bros. That’s potentially the biggest roster in a video game, ever. When Nintendo recently announced a Smash Direct would be taking place, questions were raised as to why such an event was being held.

Now, though, the rumours are once again flying. Just hours before the next big Direct, a medley for the game - originally posted last week - has received a name change and has then been reverted back to its original title. Briefly replacing the "Galaga Medley" was a new title "Bloody Tears / Monster Dance". These two tunes are from Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest, which has led to speculation Simon Belmont will be added to the latest Smash entry as a playable fighter.

Do you think more new fighters will be added to the latest version of Smash? Tell us in the comments below.

I remember someone"leaking" this info several weeks before the E3, and I legit thought Simon Belmont would be absurd in Smash but that same person predicted Ridley and the Ice Climbers...I don't know what to expect.

@Not_Soos I know, I know. I’m suitably ashamed, but also excited to watch. Though I felt the E3 Smash segment/breakdown of every minute detail seemed to cover almost everything. I wonder how long this one will be.

@IKAY this isn’t about Galaga. But you are right it’s not Konami it’s Namco and is actually already in Smash in the form of one of PAC-MAN’s moves and an item.

The article is about the fact that some music for Smash (which happened to be for Galaga) was accidentally named after two Castlevania tracks before being corrected. Two tracks for a specific character that has long been requested. The whole Galaga part is irrelevant really.

Potentially the biggest roster definitely not. Dragon Ball Z Budôkai Tenkaichi has 160+ characters, several Naruto games have those numbers too and anyway the biggest roster in a fighting video game is the one of Tobal 2 (PlayStation) with 200.

What a horrible night to have a leak. :3 Man, Smash would become even more STACKED with 8 & 16-bit platforming heroes! So many possibilities for retro Event Matches!!! Plus, give Square-Enix & Bandai-Namco a second rep, and think of the company tag team matches!!! Nintendo (Mario & Luigi/Link) vs. Capcom (Mega Man & Ryu) vs. Konami (Simon & Snake) alone is a dream come true!

@bitleman I was just saying the roster will be most definitely inferior in number. But anyway, I like Smash Bros. series because the inputs are the same for all characters, which simplifies the gameplay.

@shoeses Simon should make for a pretty cool and unique fighter with his whip and all, even though I was never personally rooting for him to become a fighter. Ultimately though, i'm totally cool if Simon ends up being a new one.
